The term "God" is used in Supernatural to refer to the Judeo-Christian deity. God began all sources of life (including angels and humans) ^{5.02 Good God Y'All}, according to Castiel, and this was also explored in 5.04 The End when Lucifer made the statement, Earth is "the last great handy work of God." His true powers and his true origin still remain unknown and unclear.

God is first mentioned in 1.12 Faith, when Dean is healed by Roy Le Grange, who believes God is healing through him, although it is actually connected to a Reaper his wife is manipulating. However when Dean asks why he was saved, Roy says he was guided by the Lord because he saw in Dean's heart that he was "A young man with an important purpose. A job to do. And it isn’t finished."

In 2.13 Houses of the Holy, when people claim that an angel told them to kill, Sam reveals that he believes in God and that he prays. Dean says: "There's no higher power, there's no God. There's just chaos and violence, random unpredictable evil, that comes outta nowhere, rips you to shreds." When Dean witnesses a man who attacked a woman killed in a freak accident, he wonders whether he had seen 'the hand of God' at work.

In 4.01 Lazarus Rising, Castiel reveals that he raised Dean from Hell because "God commanded it." However as The 66 Seals are broken, Zachariah reveals the angels plan to allow the apocalypse to begin. When Dean asks where God is and Zachariah replies "God has left the building". However Joshua later reveals that it was God who saved dean and Sam when Lucifer rose, by transporting them onto the plane and resurrecting Castiel.

According to Raphael God is dead, as this is the only explanation for the horrible things have happened on Earth over the last hundred years and God's continuing silence. Dean encourages Castiel, who still believes God is not dead, to continue his search. ^{5.02 Good God Y'All}

Joshua confirms that God is on Earth, but no longer cares about the Apocalypse, thinking it isn't his problem. ^{5.16 Dark Side Of The Moon}

A major point of conflict in heaven has been God's insistence that the angel's bow before humans. This led to Lucifer's rebellion and expulsion, and also to the action of Uriel and his cohorts, who sought to free Lucifer.

Anna Milton tells Dean that only four angels have seen God. ^{4.10 Heaven And Hell} In other words God's True Face has been truly reveled to only four of his angels. Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel and Raphael are the four angels that have seen God. Although the angel Joshua talks to God.^{5.16 Dark Side Of The Moon}

Castiel states that aside from Michael God is the only one strong enough to defeat Lucifer and end the apocalypse, and so he begins a quest to find him. Castiel thinks that while God has been absent, it was he who resurrected him and saved the boys from Lucifer. He reveals that Dean's Amulet is very powerful and that it "burns hot in God's presence", and so borrows it from Dean to help in his quest. ^{5.02 Good God Y'All}

In 5.16 Dark Side Of The Moon It is revealed by the angel Joshua relays a message from God to Sam and Dean that God knows what they are facing with the Apocalypse, and that he thinks he has intervened enough. Joshua says even the amulet won't help find him.
